Forrest 35 Report post Posted July 12, 2009 ^ Haha the rear speakers have been migrated to my gf's car, so the flaming can stop they were cheap ok ...i'd pretty much do anything to get a set of these wheels. And dw the car is loud enough the stereo does not get used a lot anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) - Fitted Z3 Shifter tonight, how important are those little yellow/white plastic washers that go on either side of the shifter when circliped to the shifter rod? I had to take them out to get the circlip on properly :S - Found a DIY for backlight bulbs for my OBC here: http://forums.eurocca.net/showthread.php?t=16507 so once that is sorted the center piece of my dash can go back in the car. - Starting rust repair Friday :S my 6 years younger e30 had worse rust than this one so I am very happy. - Seat is going to the upholsterers to get a quote to be recovered in vinyl tomorrow. - Got permission to buy Borbet Type A's, so am awaiting on a set to arrive in Wellington and they will be my new road wheels Have a tentative date of mid August to have this finished and ready for the Intermarques, looking pretty likely if am able to source parts relatively quickly.

Forrest 35 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) - Sorry to disappoint everyone awaiting photos of the Borbet's on a E30, have a set aside for me, waiting on some tyres to be sent down so will be on my car on Monday - Seat has been quoted so will be fixed next week. - Spent the day taking the seats out, replacing the parcel tray, vacuuming the carpet (full of dog hair and 5c pieces ), picking various interior pieces up over the weekend so interior should be complete bar some small speakers and the motorsport seat by Sunday - Rust is going to be started tomorrow - Then it's onto subtle exterior mods, suspension and brake swap from the red car and it will be done done done - Can anyone recommend a good place to get fire extinguishers? My supercheap Schedule A one hasn't been used and the gauge says it's low, so not going to risk it and will buy a decent one but from where?

DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 i've got a super cheapy in the 306 you could have as i'm wreaking the 306.. but i think shipping would cost the same as you buying a supersheapy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 I think someone (not me may have dropped it ) cos it still sprayed foam all good. I will just buy another one . - In other news my engine bay is now shiny and tidy (ish) with a awesome black wrinkle effect valve cover with silver raised bmw and lines Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 I dig it. Just for what its worth I own half a plantengrun e30 (two doors and two panels haha) it used to belong to Ryan (rjs) Its the only other one I've seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Planaten Grun is obviously my new favourite color I saw another e30 here in Wellington this week in the same color, also there is a e28 in essentially the same color 5 houses away from me. Like my old Calypso Red car, I like it because it is a rare e30 color. Edited July 17, 2009 by Forrest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huff3r 347 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 If you've sprayed the supercheap extenguisher it will now be useless, cos when u spray them they clog the nozzle, and start leaking pressure.. so possibly someone may have thought it clever to test spray it? and that caused the guage to read low..

Forrest 35 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 ^ Yeah I think that may have happened, obviously when I sprayed it I knew it was already f**ked. No harm done, just another thing to add to the growing list of things to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Thought I would put up a bit of an update, it has been a while, too cold outside to take pictures, so use your imagination. - Been attacking the rust in the rear tailgate and the guards, then it is on to a small piece in the sunroof and it will be all gone - Have been trying to fit these new road wheels to my car: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=24032 ended up attacking the front calipers with a grinder and they just need a little more taken off and they won't rub. - Sold my old race wheels also, so a set of 15 x 7 Basket weaves are being organized as we speak. - Got quite a lot of painting to do this week, Nick 021's eyebrows should arrive, along with my tech 1 wing and spare set of mirrors, all prepped and ready to go, have sourced some clear indicators and red my tails since they are off the car for the rust repair. - Still got quite a large list of stuff that is broken that needs to be replaced, but isn't too big for a 24 year old car. - Engine Bay has received a massive tidy with a painted valve cover and various other rusted pieces and a alloy air box has been made thanks to Anthony (Flake) - Picking up my recovered seat hopefully today, then just need some speakers for the stereo and a new center console this week and the interior is complete. - Then it is onto suspension and brakes. Car will run my old set up (Nolathane bushes all round with Koni Adjustable Race Series shocks with Eibach springs) with the addition of some urethane engine mounts from IE and a front strut brace, and for the brakes my old set up of (Trusting High Performance pads and braided lines front and rear) with the addition of getting my OEM rotors slotted. So that's it for now, plenty to do, three weeks till I want the car finished Have started a fund and part sourcing exercise for my motor rebuild in the summer, more to come on that once the car is sort of done.
